Here is a video clip of Natasha and I at Six Flags. She was freaking out on this ride.
Well, I put Cheyenne in bed for the night and she is out! If I'm lucky maybe she'll sleep in past 8 am.

Six Flags
We spent the day at SF. Sooo much fun! Cheyenne did great, but when
she saw the bird she started crying. She is going to sleep like a
baby, tonight.

Texas Rangers Ballpark
We're at the game and enjoying the summer weather. It's really not
that bad. Cheyenne is at Sam and Sean's. She is probably getting ready
for bed time. This is going to be a fun weekend, tomorrow we have
family coming in.

Daycare Adventures
Leah posted pictures online, I thought I would share with you.
Cheyenne is the only baby looking at the camera. No surprise.

"I've got a plan to get out of here...and you're coming with me."

She's thinking: "Miss Leah, whatever you do, don't let my mommy see me with a pacifier."

Story Time with Timothy

"I would like to see the pictures."

Letting Off Steam
This evening, Cheyenne insisted on grabbing my bag of chips. She likes the noise it makes. She was really enjoying herself, but then after a while, her joy turned...you'll see.....
As you can see, she's doing the army crawl. This past Saturday, is when she first started gaining ground. I was in the kitchen and she crawled all the way from the living room rug, to where I was standing, near the island. Pretty soon, she's going to lose those baby rolls, I love so much :(

These Shoes Weren't Made for Walking

Last month, I set out a plan to start training for a half marathon. The plan is to go slow---gradually building miles every month. Last months training went well; I ran over 50 miles.
I realize I will have to modify the training, so I won't burn out. Originally, I was thinking I could run 7 miles (for my long runs every week this month), but the truth is I need to change that to every other week. Saturday I ran 7, so that means this Saturday I'll aim for 6 and the following go back to 7. For my other 2 runs during the week, I'll still aim for 4 miles minimum.
It seems like the hardest part of training is sticking to the cross training. I really need to start lifting weights. If anyone has free weights collecting dust, I'll take them off your hands. But I have to admit, picking up a 16 lb baby is getting me by--for now. Also, now that I'm running more miles off of the treadmill I want to start running with the camel pack. I believe 6 miles is the minimum I can run without a water break and running 7 miles, Saturday, without H20 was just craziness on my part.
A note about my shoes:
I absolutely love running in my Merrell's! They are my first choice on my long runs and for the short runs, I usually grab the Brooke's.
Here is the playlist for my next run. I downloaded quite a few songs from Chevelle. That seems like the perfect music to pump me up.

Compost in Action
A week and a half worth of kitchen waste. It's going in the compost bin and staying out of the landfill.

The food seems to be breaking down nicely. I make it a point to go out once a week to turn and water the pile. I went out this morning and almost melted in the heat.

I think it needs more grass clippings and it still needs some manure.

Sunday Afternoon
This afternoon, I went to Celeste's baby shower. Trey and Cheyenne
spent time together while I was away.

Breakfast on Her Shirt
This is why I don't like for Cheyenne to feed herself.

Well, it could be worse.

Bananna hands

I've got to teach her how to use a fork, FAST. Like that's going to happen anytime soon....
I have to admit, it was nice to make coffee and breakfast without having to go back and forth to tend to her. She was a happy baby with food all over her.
Early this morning, I went for a 7 mile run. I woke Cheyenne up before sunrise to feed her, then I put her back to bed, and then I ran out of the house by myself--she stayed behind with Trey. I ended up near the lake and discovered a new trail. Maybe next weekend, I'll run it. Before this run, 6 miles was the longest distance I had ever logged. I have more to write about running, but I'll save it for another post.
Here's a picture of the Lake. I took it this morning, while it was still cool outside. I didn't see a lot of people, but I did see a handful of cyclist.

By the way, we're not going to be in Abilene this weekend after all, but continue to pray for our family as we deal with the loss of a loved one. Thank you.
